Police Report Boy Wrecked Train and Set Houses Afire
A 10-year-old boy in Peoria Illinois wrecked a freight train and tried to derail another to imitate a wreck he saw in a newspaper. He set fire to at least five houses, caused $500 damage in one blaze, and admitted plotting on a Rock Island spur track with his brothers. He is in juvenile custody for psychiatric evaluation. A separate Atlanta case saw Judge Ralph McClelland order J Eric Eason to pay $200 for injuring a neighbor’s dog eye with a thrown rock.
